Question

3 XWhat is the value of x in the equation 4-- =O-32O-18O 18O 3224?

Answer 1

Given the question in the image, the following are the solution steps to answer the question.

STEP 1: Write the given equation

`-(3)/(4)=(x)/(24)`

STEP 2: Find the value of x

Cross multiply the equation

`\begin{gathered} -3*24=4* x \\ -72=4x \end{gathered}`

Divide both sides by 4

`\begin{gathered} -(72)/(4)=(4x)/(4) \\ -18=x \\ x=-18 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the value of x is -18
